Hard disagree on both accounts. Having worked with refrigerators I know quite well that none of what you claimed about old fridges are true. Buying a new fridge will not save you any money at all, these things are made up by the companies selling you the products. Also I'm not sure what kind of...

Other have already addressed your post here but I would also like to do this by telling you about refrigerators. Once upon a time buying a refrigerator was a long time purchase. You could get warranty for 15-20 years on a new fridge and they would often last a lot longer than this. I've seen...

Once again I feel you didn't read my post since the thing you quoted above was what I've seen other claim, not what I think. I think that in the end we feel the same about Mearls post and have (basically) the same take away but for some reason you still want to argue with me. Since I (mostly)...

I did write a very long post so I understand if you didn’t feel like reading all of it.

I don't think Mearls have any interest in returning to this thread so let's take his last comment and make a study of it. Let us look at the words that have lead to such polarizing opinions. Grab your SCUBA gear, we're doing a deep dive. Ah, that's nice. Never read anything about this so I...

I did. To many posts, to little time.

I guess we just read the post in different ways. I was just surprised no one decided to engage with him when he finally posted something himself.

I had stepped away from this discussion for a bit but then I saw that Mearls himself had left a comment and wanted to see peoples reactions to this and... Nothing. 17 more pages of arguing when he's already explained what the post was about. The magic of forums for sure.

I've been having some serious shoulder pain and went to see a massage therapist yesterday. He gave me even more pain working through my issues, gave me some homework and sent me on my way. My plan going forward is to do that homework, focus on running and lower body exercises while doing...

I agree.

I've been around a bunch of dogs and none of them have given me fleas. First of, that's debatable as well, and second, that's not what you said. You decided to call Mearls a bigot without any support for it but your own opinion. If we're going to hold him to such a high standard when it comes...

But why would he at this point? No one in this discussion seem to be open to listening to anything other than their own opinions, me included. I find his post nothing more than a statement of preference, no matter the wording, and I find it aimed at a certain type of design philosophy. That's...

You're probably right. Everyone seem to agree this is the propper interpretation. I'm just not completely sure. Something seem to have made him "salty" about "safe games" at Gary Con. Salty enough to write a three part tweet. I don't have any more background. To me the term "safe game" just...

Well, truthfully he didn't really specify. He said: "...safe game - whatever that means..." He then goes into risk being at the core of gameplay (I'm paraphrasing and interpreting) and that the greater threat faced in-game the more meaningful the experience emotionally and spiritually. Through...

Still not sure though. Meaning of course that I will 100% watch it but I will be skeptical.

I like "salty" and "bitter" and "angry". I even like opinionated though I do admit that sometimes some opinions make me bounce of a product like it's a jumping castle. Apart from that I find that many times its the passioned opinions of an artist that tend to bring something extra to the...

Direct and clear can be done in a polite manner. No. My character finds another solution or, at least, changes the odds for the better if nothing else works. So, if I’m getting this right useful choices prevent repetition. I agree. But I feel that descriptions, even though they don’t offer...

I would like to continue this discussion in a more polite manner but I find your tone extremely aggressive and you seem to almost willfully miss my point. The system does dictate what is optimal (I said this). If any attack can kill the optimal strategy is never to put yourself in a position...

I would say that in a system where any attack can kill trading blows is never the optimal choice. Yes a PCs blow might also be deadly unless internal logic dictates otherwise (such as a small dagger to a giants foot). But apart from extreme examples let's say we have two fighters going up...

But if each strike could be a kill does that not incentivize players to find other solutions than just trading blows with the enemy? Also it would probably remove the repetitious nature of combat as most fights would end pretty quick. I get that people want to do "cool" things but when all the...
